A Passport Department officer is facing punitive action after video
footage showed him manhandling a Saudi who had tried to jump the queue
after arriving on a flight from Germany.

The man, who arrived at Jeddah airport on a flight from Frankfurt,
demanded that his passport be stamped quickly, even though there were
other travelers from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in the queue
before him.

The man then jumped the queue, prompting the officer to leave his
desk and force him back to his place. KAIA authorities intervened and
promised strict action against the officer.
